Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Although there are some who favor sons over daughters, and there are still quite a few, most still treat their daughters as human beings. Even the few bad apples will be found by the street to be taught a lesson, although it is ineffective.
But working-class families rarely encounter such serious problems. Most of the bad apples are from families like Xiao Ma's wife's, where there are no workers, no money, and unreasonable parents.
What Fang's father and mother said made them more cautious about their future partner's family. They couldn't let such an outlaw get involved with their family.
If you grew up in a family like this, it's understandable why Fang Yingdi's behavior doesn't fit in with the surroundings. She used to be nice, but now that she can't get paid, she's become unreasonable and unruly, speaking her mind like crazy.
No wonder she was crying like this. Everyone began to sympathize with her. Some kind female workers even handed her a handkerchief, let her wipe her tears and comforted her.
Old Mrs. Xia immediately thought of the miserable first half of her and her sister's lives. When they were still at her mother's home, they were not even living like human beings. This Mr. and Mrs. Fang were comparable to her parents. Although they were not as good as her parents, they were already very hateful.
"God damn it, you two old bastards, you weren't born by women, and you old hag is a woman yourself, how could you treat your daughter like this? I don't think anyone deserves to die, but you two should have been killed when you were born."
"In exchange for the betrothal gift, why don't you sell yourselves? I don't know what the point of living is. All you know is to bully women and support your useless sons. Not only do you not know how to make some contribution to society and the country, but you should also stop dragging your feet.
Our Red Book says this kind of thinking is unacceptable. Did your village literacy class really educate you? If your team leader is so negligent, I will report him to your commune. What kind of crap is this? Even if you value your son a little, don't treat your daughter like a human being!
When Fang's mother heard that she was going to report it and implicate the team leader, she started to speculate about the background of this dead old woman. Her words were well-founded, so she must be a big shot.
But she still refused to accept it. "You're talking about me. I don't believe you don't have some old ideas of favoring boys over girls. You can be a worker and you have an education, right? Don't you say one thing and do another behind the scenes? Our village accepted many young people who were sent to school before. Some families had only boys and she was the only girl, but they were all sent here. You talk nicely now, but when the time comes, won't you also choose to sacrifice the girls?"
When it comes to us country people, you talk a lot, but when you do things, you are different from what you say. I say that you educated people are the most shameless. You only know how to lecture us. There is a word for it, reflection... Have you ever reflected on yourselves?
You're even making fun of us. What have you contributed to society? If you weren't lucky enough to get a job at the factory and have a secure job, you might be worse off than us. What contributions have you made? That's your contribution. It's because the factory has provided you with a good place to work, so you can excel. Otherwise, you'd all be street urchins.
I think you're the worst, looking down on us from your high position. Do you think we villagers are no better than you, just peasants? But why don't you consider that the rice, pork, and vegetables you eat all come from our crops? What gives you the right to look down on us? If you want to teach us a lesson, first teach those son-chauvinistic bastards in your city a lesson.
Jiang Wenhua opened his eyes wide. This old lady became eloquent all of a sudden. Her brain and thinking were so good that if she had any education, she would be almost as good as Old Xia.
Old Lady Xia had been quite reasonable, but when Fang's mother mentioned that she was the only girl in the family, she began to lose confidence. Losing confidence, she didn't know how to scold, so she fell silent, many images flashing through her mind, and she began to reflect.
In fact, she hadn't cared enough about her daughter Xiang Hong, and she hadn't done her any justice. Xiang Hong had become like this because of her influence. But after her divorce, she had never contacted her. She was just a young girl, perhaps confused by the changes in her family and didn't know what to do for a while.
She was doing things according to her previous way of life, so what right did she have to blame her?
She is now at one of the most important stages of her life. As a mother, she did not give her any guidance and did not tell her what a normal family is like. She also does not know what to do in her own small home in the future. She must be panicked and confused.
Old Mrs. Xia felt guilty. Even though she didn't have a complete idea about these things, she had to learn them and teach them to her children. This was her responsibility as a mother. She was the one who brought Xiang Hong here. Old Chen was also responsible, but Old Mrs. Xia knew she couldn't rely on him.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xia started to think about other things. Educating children is a bigger thing than work. She has never taught them how to deal with various relationships correctly, so none of her children are good. She and Old Chen are both responsible.
She felt more and more guilty and depressed. To ease this feeling, Old Lady Xia cursed Old Chen in her heart. It was all because of that damn old man. He kept saying stupid things in her ears every day. After decades, she became a fool.
Anyway, when you feel bad, just comfort yourself first, and she will learn from you later.
Jiang Wenhua noticed that Old Lady Xia was silent, so he had to take the lead. He couldn't let the Fang family's parents gain the upper hand in this situation. "Hey, what are you saying? Why don't you tell the police to catch the murderers first before they deal with the trivial matters of ordinary people like us? You make it seem like we're being unreasonable."
Fang's mother: "Anyway, as a child, you have to pay for the family expenses."
Jiang Wenhua: "Then it's only natural for parents to raise their children. Failure to do so will result in imprisonment."
Fang's mother said, "So many people don't raise girls, abandon them, or even drown them, but I haven't seen anyone arrested. Don't try to scare me with that kind of talk. If San Ya doesn't give me my salary today, we won't leave."
Jiang Wenhua: "Are you asking the child to pay the household expenses, or are you robbing her? If you hadn't told me you were her parents, I would have thought you were a habitual robber. You act like this and expect people to give you money. Do you think our security captain is just a decoration?"
Deputy Captain Wang, who was suddenly pointed at, was shocked. He immediately acted fierce and ferocious, inadvertently showing off his big muscles.
